How do you forward all of your incoming pine email to another address?

Reading can be fun... for example the "forward" man page can be very
revealing:

     After aliasing has been done, local and valid recipients who have a
     ''.forward'' file in their home directory have messages forwarded
     to the list of users defined in that file.

So you need a file ~/.forward which contains the address you want the mail
forwarded to. You seem to be running sendmail, so there shouldn't be any
problems. You might want to use a simple procmail recipe, though, to make
sure that nothing "gets lost". But this is not the right place to discuss
this.

Make *sure* your .forward file meets these restrictions:
ls -l ~/.forward   Check the permission: it should say -rw-r--r--

Check the "filtering-faq", too, there's a lot more about this problem in
there: http://www.jazzie.com/ii/faqs/archive/mail/filtering-faq/.
            
Cheers,
Robin
